Yes, Fry's had zero SCSI last time I checked.  Micro Center had only one
or two SCSI devices- little adapters like an adapter to convert the hot-plug
style to non-hotplug style.

I think their inventory is online at halted.com
And if Halted doesn't have an obsolete item,
wierdstuff might.  They're on Java or Caribbean,
N of 101. IIRC halted has more in terms of components
and adaptors and wierdstuff has more in the way
of cables and housings and computers and racks.
